About myscientificlife

Welcome to myscientificlife!
I recently completed my undergrad at State University. I am currently taking a year off of school and applying to graduate schools. This lovely blog is mostly about my journey towards grad school and other things I find interesting, such as food, podcasts, and books. Probably mostly food.
You can reach me at myscientificlife@gmail.com.

5 Responses to Addicted to collecting papers

I do this too. Only, I don’t always get around to reading them. That is when it becomes counter productive! I like to download them and then upload them onto Endnote, that way I have the PDF and the citation ready to go. Maybe make a point to read them after you’ve downloaded a handful (like five or so) that way it is less overwhelming.

I’ve had this same problem myself. I use endnote to organize my papers but whenever I read one I find a bunch more in the references to read. I also hate to read on a computer and printing is free for me, so i just print them out and file them the old fashioned way. I know its not very environmentally friendly… ironically I am in the carbon capture and alternative energies sector. Until someone brings out a really good e-ink display that I can read a full PDF on and annotate, this is the best way.
